32. Don't give me that "I'm an OG" bullshit...I actually STILL live in the area.
Edited on Fri May-07-10 02:37 AM by U4ikLefty
My family has been living in this area when there was no such city as Norwalk.

As far as the straw man about how I think...you know jack shit. This is about one thing, smart-ass punks in a high school who were trying to provoke.

Would it be cool for a few white kids to wear Stars and Bars t-shirts on MLK Day at Long Beach Poly High?
